FUSSY, irritable babies can now be a thing of the past – a new treatment in the form of probiotic Lactobacillus reuteri (L. reuteri) is believed to effectively reduce colic in newborns by as much as 40%. In a recent media forum on colic management, Filipino paediatric gastroenterologist Dr Jossie Rogacion highlighted the effectiveness of L. reuteri in addressing gastrointestinal problems in babies, which if left untreated, can lead to a higher risk of abdominal pain and sleep problems later on in life.
